We Are Our Brains: From the Womb to Alzheimer's | Dick Swaab

so-so

Third book for this month for #readyourkindle

Okay this book was frustrating. It is older then I realised so no doubt some research has moved on significantly. At times fascinating, at times subtly patriarchal (mostly he's progressive) and occasionally preachy.

As a carer for someone with dementia the very detailed breakdown into subsections of the 7 stages of it was sadly super accurate and informative I suspect of what to expect next.

Balibee146 Thanks @CBee and @Suet624 we are getting to the final parts of stage 6 / shifting towards final stage 7, so it's hard going practically and emotionally. **** Dementia! So thnaksful both my parents were mentally sharp until there last day and had a sudden crisis without protracted suffering but enough time for us to get to the hospital and be with them 💔💔 4w

Balibee146 Ach typos and the wrong "their".... Sorry!! 4w

Next up from my October #readyourkindle choices.

I just realised this book was published in 2010 so it may be a skim read or a bail depending.
